Cue Hank to say it's comparable to Detroit.

I'm not sure comparisons between the numbers of deaths are relevant (nor that yours are accurate, but leave that aside).
When Israel declares victory, celebrates the establishment of democracy in Lebanon, and talks about its mission being accomplished, well, then the comparison to Iraq may make some sense.
But I guess Iraq is no longer important.
